Files with Time and date stamps...
Well the cfdirectory tag works similarly to cfquery, in that it returns a set of query-type records and you can specify fields by which to sort. So try using cfdirectory to list files filtered by *.csv or FILENAME*.csv. And also specify sort="name DESC". This is assuming that the FILENAME part of your csv file names is always the same. This will return your csv files, ordered descending by the file name, and I think by the way you describe the file name format, the one with the most recent date/time will be the first record. So you can get the file name by queryname.name[1] where queryname is the value of the name attribute for the cfdirectory tag.

Files with Time and date stamps...
I'm trying to find a particular file in a directory that has a file name similar to 'FILENAME20030803034545.csv'. I'm trying to use FileExists() but I keep running issues with the time, not so much the dateHow do I look for a file that has the most recent date and time. Is there an efficient way to find this out?
